Power Management Setup Option
This option displays items that let you control the system
power management. Modern operating systems take care of
much of the power management. This mainboard supports
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The sys-
tem has various power saving modes including powering
down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM,
and a software power down that allows the system to be
automatically resumed by certain events.
Power Management Timeouts
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the
system is inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If
the inactivity continues so that the timeout period elapses, the
system enters a power-saving mode. If any item in the list of
Reload Global Timer Events is Enabled, then any activity on
that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
Wake Up Calls
If the system is suspended, or has been powered down by
software, it can be resumed by a wake up call that is gener-
ated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card,
or a fixed alarm on the system realtime clock.
